AAE ECC offers a loving, warm and welcoming environment where children
are valued for their individuality. We take our inspiration from many
sources, primarily Jewish teachings and the Reggio Emilia curriculum
philosophy, within a safe, creative and stimulating setting. The
children's Jewish experiences are based upon the joy of celebration,
song, ritual, and the important connection between the community and the
family. The children develop a sense of pride in and a love for their
Jewish heritage and the special ways we celebrate Judaism as part of
Jewish family life.
Every child is unique, with their own interests, learning style, growth
timetable, and culture. Learning takes place through our
developmentally-based program that values the child's innate curiosity,
ability and creativity, as teachers help to shape the curriculum around
the children's ideas. When given the time, space, and opportunity to
interact in a meaningful environment, a child will construct new ideas
through investigation and research in order to link them to existing
knowledge. These opportunities enable children to develop a strong
sense of community, self-reliance, and are given the foundation for
critical thinking necessary throughout life. Extended Hours 7:30am-6pm.

The emphasis is completely on the positive and on the experiential. From the Alef-Bet to the ABC's; the weekly Torah portion to Jewish ethics; subjects are not merely taught in the classroom, but are animated and brought vividly to life - with music, with dance, with stories. Likewise, whether it's a holiday event, a Friday night dinner or a school graduation, there is a special spirit in the air that embraces child and parent alike. This school spiritually feeds the community, and vice versa. In the words of Director Renee Hutchings, Beyond the high level of professionalism we aspire to, there is that abstract dimension that endears this program to all involved. That dimension is love. It's warmth. It's Chabad. read less
